Task scheduler not running??????
My daughter has an HP laptop that she uses in nursing school. It started acting funny and I found a bunch of junk on the computer that she says she doesn't know where it came from.
But me problem is that automatic updates has stopped working along with the disk defag. When I try to run the defag I get a message that says that the task scheduler is running, to start it.
When I go into the task scheduler and try to get it to run on the computer the console is on, I get a message that says "cannot connect to remote computer".
Also security essentials quit working and when I try to update it I get a message that says
Microsoft Security Essentials-not responding
Virus and spyware definitions couldn't be updated
This app couldn't check for virus and spyware definition updates. Check your internet of network connection and try again
But both are working because I can get on the internet and browse.
So, what gives? Thanks.
